Equal Opportunity T-shirt wearer
Saturday, November 20, 2004
I wrote a review of ACL 7.0's performance earlier this month and Franz has linked to it from their home page. I was amused to read the following on IRC:
"<Xach> No wonder Bill Clementson got a Franz t-shirt... www.franz.com links directly to his review of 7.0 :)The t-shirt that is mentioned is the one I said I'd be wearing at the Lisp meeting in Toronto on Monday. Actually (for the record), I received the t-shirt from Franz for beta testing ACL 7.0, not for their linking to my weblog entry. I also received a different t-shirt for beta testing ACL 6.2. I've been a beta tester of LispWorks on two separate releases as well (although I didn't get a t-shirt :-( ). So, I guess I can be considered an "equal opportunity" t-shirt wearer. I wear any Lisp t-shirts that I'm given. :-)
<emu> oooooh a t-shirt
<hypno> they really ought to do something about their site tho. i mean, *damn*..
<Xach> I'm sure his editorial integrity was not comprosed by a t-shirt
<lemonodor> he need to pay them per day he wears it outside his own house, though.
<Xach> haha
<antifuchs> haha
<Xach> and a percentage of the hot nerd love it earns him?
<antifuchs> 'eek'"
Incidentally, I don't usually buy logo, branded, or "theme" t-shirts but these ones look nice. It's hard to come up with a tasteful design that means something to technical people but is still attractive to non-technical people.
